Zhong Y, Guo J, Zheng Y, Lin H, Su Y. Metabolomics analysis of the lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 response to antibiotic stress. BMC Microbiol 2024; 24:229. [PMID: 38943061 PMCID: PMC11212188 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-024-03385-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lactobacillus plantarum has been found to play a significant role in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora in the human gut. However, it is sensitive to commonly used antibiotics and is often incidentally killed during treatment. We attempted to identify a means to protect L. plantarum ATCC14917 from the metabolic changes caused by two commonly used antibiotics, ampicillin, and doxycycline. We examined the metabolic changes under ampicillin and doxycycline treatment and assessed the protective effects of adding key exogenous metabolites. RESULTS Using metabolomics, we found that under the stress of ampicillin or doxycycline, L. plantarum ATCC14917 exhibited reduced metabolic activity, with purine metabolism a key metabolic pathway involved in this change. We then screened the key biomarkers in this metabolic pathway, guanine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The exogenous addition of each of these two metabolites significantly reduced the lethality of ampicillin and doxycycline on L. plantarum ATCC14917. Because purine metabolism is closely related to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the results showed that the addition of guanine or ADP reduced intracellular ROS levels in L. plantarum ATCC14917. Moreover, the killing effects of ampicillin and doxycycline on L. plantarum ATCC14917 were restored by the addition of a ROS accelerator in the presence of guanine or ADP. CONCLUSIONS The metabolic changes of L. plantarum ATCC14917 under antibiotic treatments were determined. Moreover, the metabolome information that was elucidated can be used to help L. plantarum cope with adverse stress, which will help probiotics become less vulnerable to antibiotics during clinical treatment.

Abstract
Tolerance to bile stress is a crucial property for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to survive in the gastrointestinal tract and exert their beneficial effects. Whey powder enriched with milk fat globule membrane proteins (M-WPI) as a functional component is protective for strains under stress conditions. The current study investigated the key mechanisms of action involved in Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) CGMCC 23701 survival in the presence of bile and the protective mechanism of M-WPI. According to proteomic analysis (proteomics), there could be several reasons for the greater protective effect of M-WPI. These include promoting the synthesis of fatty acids and peptidoglycans to repair the structure of the cell surface, regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids to release energy and produce a range of precursors, enabling the expression of the repair system to repair damaged DNA, and promoting the expression of proteins associated with the multidrug efflux pump, which facilitates the exocytosis of intracellular bile salts. This study helps us to better understand the changes in proteome of L. plantarum CGMCC 23701 under bile salt stress and M-WPI protection, which will provide a new method for the protection and development of functional LAB.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing epidemic worldwide. Several pharmacologic drugs are being used to treat obesity but these medicines exhibit side effects. To find out the alternatives of these drugs, we aimed to assess the probiotic properties and anti-obesity potentiality of a lactic acid bacterium E2_MCCKT, isolated from a traditional fermented rice beverage, haria. Based on the 16S rRNA sequencing, the bacterium was identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum E2_MCCKT. The bacterium exhibited in vitro probiotic activity in terms of high survivability in an acidic environment and 2% bile salt, moderate auto-aggregation, and hydrophobicity. Later, E2_MCCKT was applied to obese mice to prove its anti-obesity potentiality. Adult male mice (15.39 ± 0.19 g) were randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) according to the type of diet: normal diet (ND), high-fat diet (HFD), and HFD supplemented with E2_MCCKT (HFT). After four weeks of bacterial treatment on the obese mice, a significant reduction of body weight, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels, whereas, improvements in serum glucose levels were observed. The bacterial therapy led to mRNA up-regulation of lipolytic transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α which may increase the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes such as acyl-CoA oxidase and carnitine palmitoyl-transferase-1. Concomitantly, both adipocytogenesis and fatty acid synthesis were arrested as reflected by the down-regulation of sterol-regulatory element-binding protein-1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase genes. In protein expression study, E2_MCCKT significantly increased IL-10 expression while decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1Ra and TNF-α) expression. In conclusion, the probiotic Lp. plantarum E2_MCCKT might have significant anti-obesity effects on mice.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) hold significant importance in diverse fields, including food technology, industrial biotechnology, and medicine. As basic components of starter cultures, probiotics, immunomodulators, and live vaccines, LAB cells resist a variety of stressors, including temperature fluctuations, osmotic and pH shocks, exposure to oxidants and ultraviolet radiation, substrate deprivation, mechanical damage, and more. To stay alive in these adversities, LAB employ a wide range of stress response strategies supported by various mechanisms, for example rearrangement of metabolism, expression of specialized biomolecules (e.g., chaperones and antioxidants), exopolysaccharide synthesis, and complex repair and regulatory systems. LAB can coordinate responses to various stressors using global regulators. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about stress response strategies used by LAB and consider mechanisms of response to specific stressful factors, supported by illustrative examples. In addition, we discuss technical approaches to increase the stress resistance of LAB, including pre-adaptation, genetic modification of strains, and adjustment of cultivation conditions. A critical analysis of the recent findings in this field augments comprehension of stress tolerance mechanisms in LAB, paving the way for prospective research directions with implications in fundamental and practical areas.

Abstract
ABSTACT The microbiota of traditional food provides a rich reservoir of biodiversity to find new strains with interesting features for novel functional food formulation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the biofunctional potential of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain Jb21-11 isolated from Jben, a traditional Algerian fresh cheese. This isolate was selected out of a collection of 154 LAB based on its exopolysaccharide (EPS) phenotype and was preliminarily identified by polyphasic characterization as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (previously known as Lactobacillus plantarum) and its biofunctional properties were then assessed in vitro. The tested strain demonstrated good resistance to gastric juice, acidity around pH 2, and 2% (v/v) bile salts, which are important characteristics for potential biofunctional LAB candidates. It also showed a good production of ropy EPS with 674 mg/L on MRS medium. However, this ability appears to compromise the adhesion of the strain to Caco-2 cells (less than 1%), which according to our results, seems not to be related to autoaggregation and hydrophobicity (44.88 ± 0.028% and 16.59 ± 0.012%). Furthermore, promising antimicrobial activity against three pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella) was detected probably due to antimicrobial metabolites excreted during fermentation process into the medium. Moreover, the strain L. plantarum Jb21-11 displayed a therapeutic functionality with both anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action using RAW 264.7 cells. The chemical features of the novel ropy Jb21-11-EPS were also investigated revealing the presence of three monosaccharides, namely, mannose, galactose, and glucose, with a molar ratio of 5.42:1.00:4.52 linked together by α- and β-glycosidic bonds, presenting a relatively high molecular weight of 1.08 × 105 Da of interest for a texturing potential. Therefore, the new producing EPS strain Jb21-11 is a promising candidate for use as an adjunct culture for improving the texture of functional food.

Abstract
Bifidobacterium animalis, one of the predominant bacteria in the intestines of humans and other mammals, is widely added to dairy products. We employed RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression variance on a genome-wide scale and found stable reference genes (RG) in B. animalis. A total of 1,665 genes were identified by analyzing the data from the transcriptome under 4 different conditions, and 13 probable candidate RG with variation coefficient values <0.1 were validated using reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The amplification efficiency of candidate RG were ranging from 94.16% to 126.25%. We integrated the analysis results of BestKeeper, geNorm, NormFinder, and RefFinder algorithms and revealed that rplD and atpA comprehensive ranked 1.68 and 2.82, respectively, which were more stable than traditional RG. Compared with plate count (1.58 × 106 cfu/mL), the concentrations of B. animalis AR668 by RT-qPCR using rplD, atpA, and 16S rRNA as RG were 2.27 × 106, 2.24 × 106, and 6.66 × 106 cfu/mL, respectively, after 10 h of fermentation in fermented skim milk. It suggested that rplD and atpA as RG can be accurate for colony counting of B. animalis. Our study provides the foundation for more accurate analysis of colony counting by RT-qPCR of B. animalis in dairy foods.

Abstract
Extremophiles possess unique cellular and molecular mechanisms to assist, tolerate, and sustain their lives in extreme habitats. These habitats are dominated by one or more extreme physical or chemical parameters that shape existing microbial communities and their cellular and genomic features. The diversity of extremophiles reflects a long list of adaptations over millions of years. Growing research on extremophiles has considerably uncovered and increased our understanding of life and its limits on our planet. Many extremophiles have been greatly explored for their application in various industrial processes. In this review, we focused on the characteristics that microorganisms have acquired to optimally thrive in extreme environments. We have discussed cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in stability at respective extreme conditions like thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, barophiles, etc., which highlight evolutionary aspects and the significance of extremophiles for the benefit of mankind.

Abstract
Ultrasound is a green nonthermal technology with promising applications in microbial inactivation. Electrolyzed water has been investigated and found to have a synergistic inactivation effect of ultrasound on spores. This study used a data-independent-acquisition method to analyze the stress response of Bacillus cereus spores following ultrasound combined with electrolyzed water treatment. We identified 197 differentially expressed proteins under ultrasound combined with an electrolyzed water treatment for which the ratio in the metabolic pathway was the highest. Spores downregulated key proteins in energy metabolic and transportation pathways, in particular in phosphotransferase systems and ATP synthase under ultrasound, electrolyzed water, and combined stress. The results of this study revealed that the key proteins in intracellular metabolism decreased after ultrasound treatment, and the expression of small acid-soluble spore protein and cell wall biosynthesis protein increased. Meanwhile, DNA integration, recombination, and inversion protein and small acid-soluble spore protein were upregulated after electrolyzed water treatment. In general, the spores exhibited stress resistance under external stress. The inactivation of spores by further stress was reduced, which we called "cross-protection."

Abstract
To date, the coffee industry has the second highest market value in the world and consumer behavior has transitioned from drinking coffee just for its caffeine content to reduce sleepiness into an overall experience. Instant cold brew coffee in powder form can preserve the taste of coffee well; moreover, it is easy to transport. Several consumers have increasing interests in implementing lactic acid bacteria in healthy food due to their growing awareness of the probiotic's role. Several scholars have presented stress adaptation characteristics of single probiotic strains; however, comparisons of the stress-tolerant capacities of different probiotic strains are incomplete. Five lactic acid strains are tested for adaptation under four sublethal conditions. Lactobacillus casei is the most resilient probiotic in terms of heat and cold adaptation, while Lactobacillus acidophilus is more tolerant to low acid and bile salt; Then, these probiotics are subjected to a stress challenge that stimulates drying temperature, including a heat and cold stress challenge. The results show that acid adaptation can improve Lactobacillus acidophilus TISTR 1338 tolerance to harsh drying temperatures. In addition, encapsulation using prebiotic extracts from rice bran, with pectin and resistant starch combined through crosslinking and treated by freeze-drying, provides the highest encapsulation efficiency. In summary, acid-adapted L. acidophilus TISTR 1388 at the sublethal level can be applied to high and low temperature processing techniques. Additionally, the amount of viable probiotic after in vitro digestion remains at 5 log CFU/g, which is suitable for application in the production of synbiotic cold brew coffee.

Vanitha PR, Somashekaraiah R, Divyashree S, Pan I, Sreenivasa MY. Antifungal activity of probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MYSN7 against Trichophyton tonsurans. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1192449. [PMID: 37389341 PMCID: PMC10303898 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1192449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to assess the probiotic attributes and antifungal activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against the fungus, Trichophyton tonsurans. Among the 20 isolates screened for their antifungal attributes, isolate MYSN7 showed strong antifungal activity and was selected for further analysis. The isolate MYSN7 exhibited potential probiotic characteristics, having 75 and 70% survival percentages in pH3 and pH2, respectively, 68.73% tolerance to bile, a moderate cell surface hydrophobicity of 48.87%, and an auto-aggregation percentage of 80.62%. The cell-free supernatant (CFS) of MYSN7 also showed effective antibacterial activity against common pathogens. Furthermore, the isolate MYSN7 was identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum by 16S rRNA sequencing. Both L. plantarum MYSN7 and its CFS exhibited significant anti-Trichophyton activity in which the biomass of the fungal pathogen was negligible after 14 days of incubation with the active cells of probiotic culture (106 CFU/ml) and at 6% concentration of the CFS. In addition, the CFS inhibited the germination of conidia even after 72 h of incubation. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the lyophilized crude extract of the CFS was observed to be 8 mg/ml. Preliminary characterization of the CFS showed that the active component would be organic acids in nature responsible for antifungal activity. Organic acid profiling of the CFS using LC-MS revealed that it was a mixture of 11 different acids, and among these, succinic acid (9,793.60 μg/ml) and lactic acid (2,077.86 μg/ml) were predominant. Additionally, a scanning electron microscopic study revealed that CFS disrupted fungal hyphal structure significantly, which showed scanty branching and bulged terminus. The study indicates the potential of L. plantarum MYSN7 and its CFS to control the growth of T. tonsurans. Furthermore, in vivo studies need to be conducted to explore its possible applications on skin infections.

Abstract
Physical injury carried by dried process was an inevitable and hostile problem which could seriously affect the quality and viability of microbial agents. In this study, heat preadaptation was successfully applied as a pretreatment to fight against the physical stresses encountered during freeze-dried and spray-dried process and develop a high activity Tetragenococcus halophilus powder. The results indicated T. halophilus cells maintained a higher viability in dried powder when cells were treated with heat preadaptation before dried process. Flow cytometry analysis illustrated that heat preadaptation contributed to maintain a high membrane integrity during dried process. Besides, glass transition temperatures of dried powder increased when cells were preheated, which further verified that higher stability was obtained in group preadaptation during shelf life. Additionally, dried powder prepared by heat shock presented a better fermentation performance, suggesting heat preadaptation may be a promising strategy to prepare bacterial powder by freeze drying or spray drying.

Abstract
Electrospray (ES) is a new non-thermal processing technology for pasteurising liquid foods. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ES on the cell structure and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and then compare the effects of ES and heat treatment (HT) on microbial inactivation and flavour composition in honey raspberry wine. First, we found that the inactivation effect of ES treatment on the three microorganisms was significantly influenced by the voltage intensity. The degree of damage to the cellular structures and functions of the three microorganisms increased with increasing voltage. Second, the environment in which the microorganisms were present significantly influenced the ES pasteurisation effect. Pasteurisation by ES was better when the three microorganisms were in honey raspberry wine than in saline. Finally, the total number of colonies in honey raspberry wine was reduced from 4.50 to 2.03 log colony forming units/mL after ES treatment, and the wine had good stability during storage (84 days at 4 °C). In the honey raspberry wine, the contents of the main flavour substances (ketones and esters) did not change significantly after ES treatment, but HT decreased the content of esters and ketones by 13.5 % and 75.4 %, respectively.

Abstract
Korean red ginseng has been widely used as an herbal medicine. Red ginseng dietary fiber (RGDF) is a residue of the processed ginseng product but still contains bioactive constituents that can be applied as prebiotics. In this study, we evaluated changes on fermentation profiles and probiotic properties of strains that belong to family Lactobacillaceae with RGDF supplementation. Metabolomic analyses were performed to understand specific mechanisms on the metabolic alteration by RGDF and to discover novel bioactive compounds secreted by the RGDF-supplemented probiotic strain. RGDF supplementation promoted short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, carbon source utilization, and gut epithelial adhesion of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and inhibited attachment of enteropathogens. Intracellular and extracellular metabolome analyses revealed that RGDF induced metabolic alteration, especially associated with central carbon metabolism, and produced RGDF-specific metabolites secreted by L. plantarum, respectively. Specifically, L. plantarum showed decreases in intracellular metabolites of oleic acid, nicotinic acid, uracil, and glyceric acid, while extracellular secretion of several metabolites including oleic acid, 2-hydroxybutanoic acid, hexanol, and butyl acetate increased. RGDF supplementation had distinct effects on L. plantarum metabolism compared with fructooligosaccharide supplementation. These findings present potential applications of RGDF as prebiotics and bioactive compounds produced by RGDF-supplemented L. plantarum as novel postbiotic metabolites for human disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are indispensable functional microorganisms for cereal vinegar brewing, but cell activities are inhibited by the dominant acetic acid stress. Herein, an acetic-acid-tolerant strain isolated previously was identified as Pediococcus acidilactici, which also exhibited good resistance to other stresses during vinegar brewing. Proteomics analysis evidenced that differentially expressed proteins involved in the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathway, pyruvate metabolism, and sugar phosphotransferase system were all downregulated. Meanwhile, saturation of fatty acids and antioxidant enzymes was strengthened. The effects of several proteins on the resistance of P. acidilactici and Lactobacillus lactis relied on the types of strain and stress. AccA and AcpP participating in fatty acid metabolism and biosynthesis and Mnc related to stress response were found to protect cells by modifying fatty acid compositions and reinforcing the antioxidant defense system. Our works deepen the mechanisms of P. acidilactici under acetic acid and offer targets for engineering cell tolerance.

Abstract
The persistence of Staphylococcus aureus within biofilm can lead to contamination of medical devices and life-threatening infections. Luckily, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have an inhibitory effect on the growth of these bacteria. This study aims to select LAB strains from fermented vegetables, and analyze their potential inhibition activities against S. aureus. In total, 45 isolates of LAB were successfully isolated from Sichuan pickles, and the CFS of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LR-14 exerted the strongest inhibitory effect against S. aureus. Moreover, S. aureus cells in planktonic and biofilm states both wrinkled and damaged when treated with the CFS of L. plantarum LR-14. In addition, whole genome sequencing analysis indicates that L. plantarum LR-14 contains various functional genes, including predicted extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) biosynthesis genes, and genes participating in the synthesis and metabolism of fatty acid, implying that L. plantarum LR-14 has the potential to be used as a probiotic with multiple functions.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii, an emerging foodborne pathogen that was isolated primarily from powdered infant formula, poses an important issue in food safety due to its high stress tolerance and pathogenicity. The Hpr (encoded by ptsH gene) has been shown to regulate carbon metabolism as well as stress response and virulence. However, the functional properties of ptsH in C. sakzakii have not been investigated. In this study, we clarified the role of ptsH in the C. sakzakii stress response and virulence, and explored its possible regulatory mechanism by RNA-seq. Compared with wild-type, the ΔptsH mutant showed a slower growth rate in the log phase but no difference in the stationary phase. Moreover, the resistance to heat stress (65 °C, 55 °C), simulated gastric fluid (pH = 2.5), biofilm formation and adhesion to HT-29 cells of ΔptsH mutant were significantly decreased, whereas the oxidative resistance (1, 5, 10 mM H2O2), osmotic resistance (10%, 15%, 20% NaCl), and superoxide dismutase activity were enhanced. Finally, RNA-seq analysis revealed the sulfur metabolism pathway is significantly upregulated in the ΔptsH mutant, but the bacterial secretion system pathway is dramatically downregulated. The qRT-PCR assay further demonstrated that the ΔptsH mutant has elevated levels of genes that are related to oxidative and osmotic stress (sodA, rpoS, cpxA/R, osmY). This study provides a great understanding of the role of ptsH in diverse stress responses and virulence in C. sakazakii, and it contributes to our understanding of the genetic determinant of stress resistance and pathogenicity of this important foodborne pathogen.

Abstract
Probiotics encounter various stresses during food processing and digestion. This study evaluated the differential proteomic responses of a newly identified potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus garvieae, isolated from camel milk. Lc. garvieae C47 was exposed to heat, cold, acid, and bile conditions, and stress-responsive proteins were identified. The proteomic analysis was done using 2D-IEF SDS PAGE and nano-LC-MS/MS. Out of 91 differentially expressed proteins, 20 upregulated and 27 downregulated proteins were shared among the stresses. The multivariate data analysis revealed abundance of elongation factor Ts (spot C42), uridine phosphorylase, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, peptidase T, cobalt ECF transporter T component CbiQ, UDP-N-acetylmuramate-l-alanine ligase, uncharacterized protein, aspartokinase, chaperone protein DnaK, IGP synthase cyclase subunit, probable nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase, NADH-quinone oxidoreductase, holo-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase, l-lactate dehydrogenase, and uncharacterized protein. The maximum number of differentially expressed proteins belonged to carbohydrate and protein metabolism, which indicates Lc. garvieae shifts towards growth and energy metabolism for resistance against stress conditions.

Abstract
Certain phytochemicals have been found to promote the beneficial effects of probiotic bacteria although the molecular mechanisms of such interactions are poorly understood. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the exposure to 0.5 mM chlorogenic acid (CA) on the redox status and proteome of Enterococcus faecium isolated from cheese and challenged with 2.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The bacterium was incubated in anaerobic conditions for 48 h at 37 °C. CA exposure led to a more intense oxidative stress and accretion of bacterial protein carbonyls than those induced by H2O2. The oxidative damage to bacterial proteins was even more severe in the bacterium treated with both CA and H2O2, yet, such combination led to a strengthening of the antioxidant defenses, namely, a catalase-like activity. The proteomic study indicated that H2O2 caused a decrease in energy supply and the bacterium responded by reinforcing the membrane and wall structures and counteracting the redox and pH imbalance. CA stimulated the accretion of proteins related to translation and transcription regulators, and hydrolases. This phytochemical was able to counteract certain proteomic changes induced by H2O2 (i.e. increase of ATP binding cassete (ABC) transporter complex) and cause the increase of Rex, a redox-sensitive protein implicated in controlling metabolism and responses to oxidative stress. Although this protection should be confirmed under in vivo conditions, such effects point to benefits in animals or humans affected by disorders in which oxidative stress plays a major role.

Abstract
Microbial cell factories have been widely used in the production of various chemicals. Although synthetic biology is useful in improving the cell factories, adaptation is still widely applied to enhance its complex properties. Adaptation is an important strategy for enhancing stress tolerance in microbial cell factories. Adaptation involves gradual modifications of microorganisms in a stressful environment to enhance their tolerance. During adaptation, microorganisms use different mechanisms to enhance non-preferred substrate utilization and stress tolerance, thereby improving their ability to adapt for growth and survival. In this paper, the progress on the effects of adaptation on microbial substrate utilization capacity and environmental stress tolerance are reviewed, and the mechanisms involved in enhancing microbial adaptive capacity are discussed.

It also showed strong adhesion ability (3.45%) to Caco-2 cells and excellent antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens in vitro. For safety (antibiotic susceptibility) of this strain, it was susceptible to all the tested seven antibiotics. Lact. plantarum HOM3204 had good stability during storage, especially in cold and frozen conditions. Furthermore, Lact. plantarum HOM3204 significantly restored the gut microbiota composition by increasing the abundance of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria and decreasing Enterococci, and improved antioxidative function by raising the concentrations of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in mice. These results suggest that Lact. plantarum HOM3204 could be a potential probiotic as a functional food ingredient.

Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13113920. [PMID: 34836175 PMCID: PMC8620752 DOI: 10.3390/nu13113920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
A high-salt diet (HSD) is one of the key risk factors for hypertension and kidney injury. In this study, a HSD C57BL/6J mice model was established with 4% NaCl, and then different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum ZDY2013 were intragastrically administered for 2 weeks to alleviate HSD-induced renal injury. For the study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, non-targeted metabonomics, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and Masson’s staining were used to investigate the mechanism of L. plantarum ZDY2013 in alleviating renal damage. Results showed that HSD caused intestinal inflammation and changed the intestinal permeability of mice, disrupted the balance of intestinal flora, and increased toxic metabolites (tetrahydrocorticosteron (THB), 3-methyhistidine (3-MH), creatinine, urea, and L-kynurenine), resulting in serious kidney damage. Interestingly, L. plantarum ZDY2013 contributed to reconstructing the intestinal flora of mice by increasing the level of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and decreasing that of Prevotella and Bacteroides. Moreover, the reconstructed intestinal microbiota significantly changed the concentration of the metabolites of hosts through metabolic pathways, including TCA cycle, ABC transport, purine metabolism, and histidine metabolism. The content of uremic toxins such as L-kynurenine, creatinine, and urea in the serum of mice was found to be decreased by L. plantarum ZDY2013, which resulted in renal injury alleviation. Our data suggest that L. plantarum ZDY2013 can indeed improve chronic kidney injury by regulating intestinal flora, strengthening the intestinal barrier, limiting inflammatory response, and reducing uremic toxins.

Abstract
Bifidobacterium longum NCIM 5672 is a probiotic strain isolated from the Indian infant feces. The probiotic efficacy of Bifidobacteria is majorly affected by its acid tolerance. This study determined the probiotic properties and acid-tolerance mechanism of B. longum NCIM 5672 using whole-genome sequencing. The genome annotation is carried out using the RAST web server and NCBI PGAAP. The draft genome sequence of this strain, assembled in 63 contigs, consists of 22,46,978 base pairs, 1900 coding sequences and a GC content of 59.6%. The genome annotation revealed that seven candidate genes might be involved in regulating the acid tolerance of B. longum NCIM 5672. Furthermore, the presence of genes associated with immunomodulation and cell adhesion support the probiotic background of the strain. The analysis of candidate acid- tolerance-associated genes revealed three genes, argC, argH, and dapA, may play an essential role in high acid tolerance in B. longum NCIM 5672. The results of RT-qPCR supported this conclusion. Altogether, the results presented here supply an effective way to select acid-resistant strains for the food industry and provide new strategies to enhance this species' industrial applications and health-promoting properties.

Differences in Acid Stress Response of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Zhang Cultured from Solid-State Fermentation and Liquid-State Fermentation. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9091951. [PMID: 34576848 PMCID: PMC8465097 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9091951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Liquid-state fermentation (LSF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) are two forms of industrial production of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The choice of two fermentations for LAB production has drawn wide concern. In this study, the tolerance of bacteria produced by the two fermentation methods to acid stress was compared, and the reasons for the tolerance differences were analyzed at the physiological and transcriptional levels. The survival rate of the bacterial agent obtained from solid-state fermentation was significantly higher than that of bacteria obtained from liquid-state fermentation after spray drying and cold air drying. However, the tolerance of bacterial cells obtained from liquid-state fermentation to acid stress was significantly higher than that from solid-state fermentation. The analysis at physiological level indicated that under acid stress, cells from liquid-state fermentation displayed a more solid and complete membrane structure, higher cell membrane saturated fatty acid, more stable intracellular pH, and more stable activity of ATPase and glutathione reductase, compared with cells from solid-state fermentation, and these physiological differences led to better tolerance to acid stress. In addition, transcriptomic analysis showed that in the cells cultured from liquid-state fermentation, the genes related to glycolysis, inositol phosphate metabolism, and carbohydrate transport were down-regulated, whereas the genes related to fatty acid synthesis and glutamate metabolism were upregulated, compared with those in cells from solid-state fermentation. In addition, some genes related to acid stress response such as cspA, rimP, rbfA, mazF, and nagB were up-regulated. These findings provide a new perspective for the study of acid stress tolerance of L. paracasei Zhang and offer a reference for the selection of fermentation methods of LAB production.

Abstract
The review deals with lactic acid bacteria in characterizing the stress adaptation with cross-protection effects, mainly associated with Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus. It focuses on adaptation and cross-protection in Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus, including heat shocking, cold stress, acid stress, osmotic stress, starvation effect, etc. Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed databases were used for the systematic search of literature up to the year 2020. The literature suggests that a lower survival rate during freeze-drying is linked to environmental stress. Protective pretreatment under various mild stresses can be applied to lactic acid bacteria which may enhance resistance in a strain-dependent manner. We investigate the mechanism of damage and adaptation under various stresses including heat, cold, acidic, osmotic, starvation, oxidative and bile stress. Adaptive mechanisms include synthesis of stress-induced proteins, adjusting the composition of cell membrane fatty acids, accumulating compatible substances, etc. Next, we reveal the cross-protective effect of specific stress on the other environmental stresses. Freeze-drying is discussed from three perspectives including the regulation of membrane, accumulation of compatible solutes and the production of chaperones and stress-responsive proteases. The resistance of lactic acid bacteria against technological stress can be enhanced via cross-protection, which improves industrial efficiency concerning the survival of probiotics. However, the adaptive responses and cross-protection are strain-dependent and should be optimized case by case.

Abstract
High values of agitation and temperature lead to stressful conditions in the fermentations of Lactococcus lactis due to its aero-tolerant and mesophilic nature. Here, the adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) technique was applied to increase biomass and nisin production yields by enhancing L. lactis subsp. lactis robustness at higher growth temperature and aeration rates. In two separate ALE experiments, after 162 serial transfers, optimum agitation and growth temperature of L. lactis were shifted from 40 rpm and 30 °C to 200 rpm and 37 °C, respectively. Oxidative and acid resistance were enhanced in the evolved strain. Whole-genome sequencing revealed the emergence of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genome of the evolved strain in jag, DnaB, ArgR, cation transporter genes, and one putative protein. The evolved strain of L. lactis in this study has more industrial desirable features and improved nisin production capability and can act more efficiently in nisin production in stressful conditions.

Abstract
Ethanol is a toxic factor that damages membranes, disturbs metabolism, and may kill the cell. Tetragenococcus halophilus, considered as the cell factory during the manufacture of traditional fermented foods, encounters ethanol stress, which may affect the viability and fermentative performance of cells. In order to improve the ethanol tolerance of T. halophilus, a strategy based on cross protection was proposed in the current study. The results indicated that cross protection induced by heat preadaptation (45°C for 1.5 h) could significantly improve the stress tolerance (7.24-fold increase in survival) of T. halophilus upon exposure to ethanol (10% for 2.5 h). Based on this result, a combined analysis of physiological approaches and TMT-labeled proteomic technology was employed to investigate the protective mechanism of cross protection in T. halophilus. Physiological analysis showed that the heat preadapted cells exhibited a better surface phenotype, higher membrane integrity, and higher amounts of unsaturated fatty acids compared to unadapted cells. Proteomic analysis showed that a total of 163 proteins were differentially expressed in response to heat preadaptation. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that energy metabolism, membrane transport, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and genetic information processing were the most abundant metabolic pathways after heat preadaptation. Three proteins (GpmA, AtpB, and TpiA) involved in energy metabolism and four proteins (ManM, OpuC, YidC, and HPr) related to membrane transport were up-regulated after heat preadaptation. In all, the results of this study may help understand the protective mechanisms of preadaptation and contribute to the improvement of the stress resistance of T. halophilus during industrial processes.

Abstract
Antioxidant activity is one of the important probiotic characteristics for lactic acid bacteria including Lactobacillus plantarum, which is used for food fermentation or as a probiotic supplement. L. plantarum FLPL05 is a novel strain originally isolated from a healthy elderly individual of longevity. The organism has been demonstrated to exhibit high antioxidant property. However, there are limited genomic insights into the antioxidant properties of this organism. In this study, we performed whole-genome analysis regarding its antioxidant property. L. plantarum FLPL05 exhibited higher antioxidant activity compared with that of L. plantarum strains ATCC14917, ATCC8014, and WCFS1. The antioxidant capacity of L. plantarum FLPL05 was genetically linked to its antioxidant system, i.e., glutathione and thioredoxin involved in global regulation of defense against hydrogen peroxide challenge. L. plantarum FLPL05 was further examined for its antioxidant potential in D-Gal-induced aging mice and exhibited a significant increase in the activity of serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and a decrease in the level of malondialdehyde (MDA). Moreover, our analyses exhibited a complete gene cluster including plnA, plnB, plnC, plnD, plnE, plnF, plnG, plnH, plnI, plnJ, plnK, plnM, plnN, plnO, plnP, plnQ, plnST, plnU, plnV, plnW, plnX, and plnY for production of bacteriocin. Our results suggest that L. plantarum FLPL05 could be a probiotic candidate.

Abstract
In this study, homology- and cross-resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum L1 and Lactobacillus plantarum L2 to acid and osmotic stress were investigated. Meanwhile, its proliferation mechanism was demonstrated by transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing. We found that the homologous-resistance and cross-resistance of L. plantarum L1 and L. plantarum L2 increased after acid and osmotic induction treatment by lactic acid and sodium lactate solution in advance, and the survival rate of live bacteria was improved. In addition, the count of viable bacteria of L. plantarum L2 significantly increased cultivated at a pH 5.0 with a 15% sodium lactate sublethal treatment, compared with the control group. Further study revealed that genes related to membrane transport, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and cell growth were significantly upregulated. These findings will contribute to promote high-density cell culture of starter cultures production in the fermented food industry.

Abstract
Previous study has reported that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZDY2013 which was screened from traditional Chinese fermented soybeans has a strong acid resistance. The purpose of this study was to uncover the genes potentially related to its genetic adaptation and probiotic profiles, based on comparative genomic and comparative transcriptome analysis. We got the basic information about L. plantarum ZDY2013 and identified genes which are related to genetic adaptation and probiotic profiles, including carbohydrate transport and metabolism, cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis, proteolytic enzyme systems and amino acid biosynthesis, CRISPR adaptive immunity, stress responses, ability to adhere to the host intestinal wall, exopolysaccharide (EPS) biosynthesis, and bacteriocin biosynthesis. Comparative transcriptome showed CK group (normal MRS culture L. plantarum ZDY2013) and SCL group (pH 3.0 MRS culture L. plantarum ZDY2013) had 652 significant differentially expressed genes including 310 up-regulated genes and 342 down-regulated genes. Besides that, these genes had been classified through KEGG and GO functional annotation. In addition, we also found top 20 KEGG pathways adjusted to acid stress. Then, some genes were selected to verify the transcriptome analysis and explore the mechanism of how L. plantarum ZDY2013 tolerate acid stress. We found that some genes of ABC transporter, phosphotransferase system, oxidation reduction process, membrane transporter and phosphorylation metabolism process had a significant change. These results suggested that comparative characterization of the L. plantarum ZDY2013 genome and transcriptome provided the genetic basis for further elucidating the functional mechanisms of it.

Abstract
During industrial handling, Lactococcus lactis needs to adapt to different culture conditions by regulating its metabolic pathways. Modifying culture conditions may be an important way to control the biomass and functional metabolites of lactic acid bacteria. In this study, we identified the differentially expressed genes and proteins of L. lactis under different culture conditions by integrating transcriptomics and proteomics. We also analyzed the data using a bioinformatic approach to reveal the regulatory mechanisms affected by culture conditions. The transcriptome and proteome studies indicated that different culture conditions (fructose, calcium ion, palmitic acid, low pH) affected gene and protein expressions. The levels of differentially expressed proteins did not significantly correlate with the expression levels of their corresponding genes. Our results highlight the importance of comparative transcriptomics and proteomics analyses. In this study, fructose and pH significantly affected sugar metabolism of L. lactis. When lactose was replaced by fructose, fructokinase expression was promoted, and fructose metabolism was accelerated, whereas starch and sucrose metabolism and galactose metabolism system were inhibited. Low pH may be beneficial to homofermentation of L. lactis, which may also metabolize galactose through the tagatose pathway and the Leloir pathway. Fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis were significantly downregulated under calcium ion and palmitic acid. The purine metabolism was upregulated under fructose treatment and downregulated under palmitic acid treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid development of the rice wine industry has increased the demand for raw materials worldwide. A fungal strain with good adaptability to rice wine brewing conditions, which can also enhance the utilization rate of raw materials (URRM), thus increasing the production efficiency, was sought in the present research. RESULTS The strain FJMR24 was successfully isolated and screened from 35 fermentation starters and exhibited high amylase activity (2200.9 ± 18.5 U g-1 ) and high glucoamylase activity (2330.4 ± 31.9 U g-1 ). Based on a morphological examination and a sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene and β-tubulin gene, FJMR24 was identified as Monascus purpureus, which is an edible and versatile fungus that plays a dominant role in the processing of Hong Qu. A moderate pH of 5-6 under incubation at 35 °C for 5-6 days was favorable for the growth and enzyme production of FJMR24. The strain could also tolerate the extreme conditions of 15-45 °C, 18% ethanol (v/v), and an acidity of pH 2. The excellent fermentation adaptability of FJMR24 might enable it to retain high enzyme activity during rice wine brewing. As a result of the action of FJMR24, the URRM of the base liquor increased by around 26% due to increased starch hydrolysis efficiency, which was mainly due to the high unit enzyme activity of FJMR24. CONCLUSION This study provides perspectives for the application of a M. purpureus strain with high starch hydrolysis activity for enhancing the URRM in traditional rice wine brewing. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Suspensions of pea protein enriched flour (PP) inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum NRRL B-4496 and uninoculated PP suspensions were incubated in vials covered with airtight caps. Organic compound compositions of fermented and unfermented PP suspensions (F-PP and U-PP, respectively) were analyzed using solid phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography - mass-spectrometry (GCMS). Acetic acid was detected in all samples; pH dropped from pH 6.5 to pH 4.1 in L. plantarum F-PP and to pH 5.3 in uninoculated F-PP. Abundance of acetic acid and minuscule presence of lactic acid in L. plantarum F-PP suggested that fermentation proceeded preferentially via the pyruvate formate lyase (PFL) pathway. Nonetheless, glycerol appeared to be the most abundant compound in L. plantarum F-PP samples; colorimetric analysis indicated that its average concentration in these samples was 1.05 g/L. A metabolic switch from the PFL pathway to glycerol production might occur due to acidity tolerance limitations of L. plantarum, glycerol production being associated with the release of phosphate, which can act as a buffer. Fermentation of PP by L. plantarum also led to formation of hexamine, which is a known food preservation agent. Presence of naturally formed hexamine and glycerol in food products may render using chemical additives needless.

Abstract
The probiotic efficacy and fermentative ability of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus), a widely used probiotic, is majorly affected by its acid tolerance. Here, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of the high acid-tolerant L. bulgaricus LJJ stored in the laboratory. Compared with the whole genome of low acid-tolerant strain L. bulgaricus ATCC11842, the results show that 16 candidate acid-tolerant genes may be involved in the regulation of the acid tolerance of L. bulgaricus LJJ. Association analysis of candidate acid-tolerant genes and acid-tolerant traits of different L. bulgaricus strains revealed that the three genes dapA, dapH, and lysC are the main reasons for the strong acid tolerance of L. bulgaricus LJJ. The results of real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) supported this conclusion. KEGG pathway analysis showed that these three acid-tolerant genes are involved in the synthesis of lysine; the synthesis of lysine may confer L. bulgaricus LJJ strong acid tolerance. This study successfully revealed the acid tolerance mechanism of L. bulgaricus LJJ and provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent selection of strains with high acid tolerance for improved probiotic functions. KEY POINTS: • Three genes are identified as acid-tolerant genes, respectively, lysC, dapA, and dapH. • LysC and dapA are the major key genes in the synthesis of lysine. • The synthesis of lysine may confer L. bulgaricus LJJ strong acid tolerance.

Abstract
Intracellular pH homeostasis through the extrusion of a proton by F0F1-ATPase is one of the key mechanisms used by lactic acid bacteria in response to acid stress, and also influences their post-fermentation acidification. In this study, the genotypic and phenotypic stability of a low post-fermentation acidification (LPA) mutant (designated as DGCC12411m) of Lactobacillus plantarum DGCC12411 was assessed. Compared with its mother strain, the pH of DGCC12411m in De Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) broth after 48-h cultivation was 0.35 pH units higher. Incorporation of DGCC12411m in yogurt stored at ambient temperature (ambient yogurt) showed a reduced post-fermentation acidification during storage at 25°C for 120 d. Whole-genome sequencing analysis showed a SNP mutation (GGT > GAT at positions 505 to 507) in DGCC12411m, which resulted in the substitution of a highly conserved glycine residue by aspartic acid at the Walker A motif of the F0F1-ATPase α-subunit. However, degeneration of the LPA phenotype was observed after 5 passages of DGCC12411m in MRS broth. Analysis of DNA sequencing on both the whole population and the isolates showed that a back mutation occurred at the SNP site (GAT changed back to GGT) over the passaging, and the reversion gradually increased from a ratio of 10.8% at P5 to 60.0% at P10. We also found that the LPA phenotype stability of DGCC12411m was improved by supplementing 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer to the growth medium as well as by reducing the inoculation rate of DGCC12411m to 2% (vol/vol). Such LPA Lactobacillus strains have potential for use as starter cultures in fermented foods with less change in acidity during shelf-life storage.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to identify salt tolerance-related genes of Lactobacillus plantarum D31 and T9 strains, isolated from Chinese traditional fermented food, by genomic analysis.
Methods
Tolerance of L. plantarum D31 and T9 strains was evaluated at different stress conditions (temperatures, acid, osmolality, and artificial gastrointestinal fluids). Draft genomes of the two strains were determined using the Illumina sequencing technique. Comparative genomic analysis and gene transcriptional analysis were performed to identify and validate the salt tolerance-related genes.
Results
Both L. plantarum D31 and T9 strains were able to withstand high osmotic pressure caused by 5.0% NaCl, and L. plantarum D31 even to tolerate 8.0% NaCl. L. plantarum D31 genome contained 3,315,786 bp (44.5% GC content) with 3106 predicted protein-encoding genes, while L. plantarum T9 contained 3,388,070 bp (44.1% GC content) with 3223 genes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed a number of genes involved in the maintenance of intracellular ion balance, absorption or synthesis of compatible solutes, stress response, and modulation of membrane composition in L. plantarum D31 and or T9 genomes. Gene transcriptional analysis validated that most of these genes were coupled with the stress-resistance phenotypes of the two strains.
Conclusions
L. plantarum D31 and T9 strains tolerated 5.0% NaCl, and D31 even tolerated 8.0% NaCl. The draft genomes of these two strains were determined, and comparative genomic analysis revealed multiple molecular coping strategies for the salt stress tolerance in L. plantarum D31 and T9 strains.

Abstract
Abstract
ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is a natural food preservative, which exhibits antimicrobial activity against a wide spectra of microorganisms. The production of ε-PL was significantly enhanced by pH shock in our previous study, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. According to transcriptional and physiological analyses in this study, the mprA/B and pepD signal transduction system was first proved to be presented and activated in Streptomyces albulus M-Z18 by pH shock, which positively regulated the transcription of ε-PL synthetase (Pls) gene and enhanced the Pls activity during fermentation. Furthermore, pH shock changed the ratio of unsaturation to saturation fatty acid in the membrane through up-regulating the transcription of fatty acid desaturase genes (SAZ_RS14940, SAZ_RS14945). In addition, pH shock also enhanced the transcription of cytochrome c oxidase (SAZ_RS15070, SAZ_RS15075), ferredoxin reductase (SAZ_RS34975) and iron sulfur protein (SAZ_RS31410) genes, and finally resulted in the improvement of cell respiratory activity. As a result, pH shock was considered to influence a wide range of proteins including regulators, fatty acid desaturase, respiratory chain component, and ATP-binding cassette transporter during fermentation. These combined influences might contribute to enhanced ε-PL productivity with pH shock.

Abstract
The following review highlights pH shock, a novel environmental factor, as a tool for the improvement of fermentation production. The aim of this review is to introduce some recent original studies on the enhancement of microbial fermentation production by pH shock. Another purpose of this review is to improve the understanding of the processes that underlie physiological and genetic differences, which will facilitate future research on the improvement of fermentation production and reveal the associated molecular mechanisms. This understanding will simultaneously promote the application of this strategy to other microbial fermentation systems. Furthermore, improvement of the cellular tolerance of genetically engineered bacteria can also be a new field of research in the future to enhance fermentation production.

Abstract
Acid soils constitute a severe problem for leguminous crops mainly through a disturbance in rhizobium-legume interactions. Rhizobium favelukesii-an acid-tolerant rhizobium able to nodulate alfalfa-is highly competitive for nodule occupation under acid conditions but inefficient for biologic nitrogen fixation. In this work, we obtained a general description of the acid-stress response of R. favelukesii LPU83 by means of proteomics by comparing the total proteome profiles in the presence or absence of acid stress by nanoflow ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Thus, a total of 336 proteins were identified with a significant differential expression, 136 of which species were significantly overexpressed and 200 underexpressed in acidity. An in silico functional characterization with those respective proteins revealed a complex and pleiotropic response by these rhizobia involving components of oxidative phosphorylation, glutamate metabolism, and peptidoglycan biosynthesis, among other pathways. Furthermore, a lower permeability was evidenced in the acid-stressed cells along with several overexpressed proteins related to γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism, such as the gene product of livK, which gene was mutated. This mutant exhibited an acid-sensitive phenotype in agreement with the proteomics results. We conclude that both the γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism and a modified cellular envelope could be relevant to acid tolerance in R. favelukesii.

Abstract
Lactobacillus strains are known to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) with recognized health benefits (i.e. prebiotic and immunomodulation) but production is limited by low yields. Co-culture has been shown to improve metabolite productivity, particularly bacteriocins and EPS. Although lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts are found in several fermented products, the molecular mechanisms linked to the microbial interactions and their influences on EPS biosynthesis are unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of co-culture on EPS production by three Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains (ATCC 9595, R0011, and RW-9595M) in association with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fermentation, in both mono and co-culture, was carried out and the expression of key LAB genes was monitored. After 48 h, results revealed that EPS production was enhanced by 39%, 49%, and 42% in co-culture for R0011, ATCC 9595, and RW-9595M, respectively. Each strain showed distinctive gene expression profiles. For a higher EPS production, higher EPS operon expression levels were observed for RW-9595M in co-culture. The construction of gene co-expression networks revealed common correlations between the expression of genes related to the EPS operons, sugar metabolism, and stress during EPS production and microbial growth for the three strains. Our findings provide insight into the positive influence of inter-kingdom interactions in stimulating EPS biosynthesis, representing progress toward the development of a bio-ingredient with broad industrial applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop an ion-selective electrode method for the continuous determination of the intracellular pH in Lactobacillus plantarum using a small-scale bioreactor. This method employed a salicylate-selective electrode basing on the distribution of salicylic acid across the cytoplasmic membrane. This developed electrode responded to salicylate concentrations above 20 μmol/L with a Nernstian sensitivity. The energized and concentrated cells were added into a thermostated small-scale bioreactor that contained the salicylate anions dissolved in a 100 mmol/L potassium phosphate buffer at different pH values. The changes in salicylate concentration that occurred in the medium containing bacterial suspension were measured as a voltage change. The cells of Lactobacillus plantarum showed maintenance of pH homeostasis at the studied pH ranging from 4.0 to 7.0, and they kept a neutral intracellular pH up to 5.8. The simplicity of the measuring preparation and the relatively low cellular concentration, as well as the advantages of the small-scale bioreactor, lead us to believe that the described method can facilitate the study of the physicochemical factors on the intracellular pH of lactic acid bacteria using a single pH probe in one method.

Abstract
As the field of synthetic biology grows, efforts to deploy complex genetic circuits in nonlaboratory strains of bacteria will continue to be a focus of research laboratories. Members of the Lactobacillus genus are good targets for synthetic biology research as several species are already used in many foods and as probiotics. Additionally, Lactobacilli offer a relatively safe vehicle for microbiological treatment of various health issues considering these commensals are often minor constituents of the gut microbial community and maintain allochthonous behavior. In order to generate a foundation for engineering, we developed a shuttle vector for subcloning in Escherichia coli and used it to characterize the transcriptional and translational activities of a number of promoters native to Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. Additionally, we demonstrated the use of this vector system in multiple Lactobacillus species, and provided examples of non-native promoter recognition by both L. plantarum and E. coli strains that might allow a shortcut assessment of circuit outputs. A variety of promoter activities were observed covering a range of protein expression levels peaking at various times throughout growth, and subsequent directed mutations were demonstrated and suggested to further increase the degree of output tuning. We believe these data show the potential for L. plantarum WCFS1 to be used as a nontraditional synthetic biology chassis and provide evidence that our system can be transitioned to other probiotic Lactobacillus species as well.
